Recipe: Spicy Chicken Burgers


My boyfriend and I absolutely love this recipe! It's so simple and easy to make and really quick too! I usually marinade the chicken for around an hour before cooking it then it should only take a few minutes on each side to cook and voila, a yummy homemade burger! 

Ingredients: (Makes 4 burgers)
  • 2 Chicken Breasts
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon tumeric
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne 
  • 1 teaspoon chilli (depending on how spicy you like it)  
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1/4 small onion
  • 1 clove garlic 
  • 4 burger rolls
 Method: 
  1. Slice the chicken breasts in half so you end up with 4 thin chicken slices (so they're the same size and shape as before, just thinner).
  2. Mix all the spices, soy sauce, sesame oil, finely chopped onion and crushed garlic in a large bowl with a splash of water just to loosen. 
  3. Add the chicken to the marinade and stir, then leave in the fridge for around 20 mins (you can leave it longer or just cook them straight away if that works best for you)
  4. Add the chicken to a hot griddle pan then turn the heat down to a medium heat and cook for 5 mins. Turn them over and repeat until cooked through (they usually take us around 15 mins to cook through just to be on the safe side)
  5. Serve in the buns when cooked. (We like to put salad and mayonnaise in our buns and serve with chips)
Obviously, you don't have to use all of the spices in the marinade, just use what you can or like! Hope you enjoy the recipe! Have a good weekend! :)
